RE: dialog widget problem

[Matt Eisemann <meisemann dsrnet com>]

I did try the printf() comment but both numbers were the same.  I also have 
not tried the gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name since the print statement (see 
below) never executes in the gboolean ok_delete_handler(GtkWidget *widget, 
GdkEvent *event,
>                                                   gpointer user_data)

      The fact that the print statement in the function above never 
executes, makes me think that it never gets in that function and I get a 
core dump.  I also have (but did not include before) a window_event_handler 
which works great.  Is there a difference in the way delete-event works for 
main application windows and for dialog windows or not really?

gboolean window_event_handler(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event,
                                               gpointer display_tasks);

  The only difference I see is that I am told to use return FALSE for this 
and return TRUE for a dialog window.


  One other potential problem is that I do not use gtk_main() directly.  I 
have created my own event loop which has worked fine for other events.
  While(tasks->running ==TRUE)
  {
    g_main_iteration(FALSE);
    /* other event check iteration */
  }

  Any ideas?  Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Matt

Hmm...  It sounds like dialog_win might not be pointing to the widget you 
want
when you set tasks->dialog_win.  Use a debugger to check the value of 
dialog_win
to see if it's changing.  If you don't have a debugger available, insert
printf() statements to display the value of dialog_win after you create the
dialog window and again when you assign tasks->dialog_win = dialog_win, 
they
should be the same.  In addition to this, try using
gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(widget)) in ok_delete_handler(), it may also 
help
shed some light on the problem.  And lastly I think you may need to insert 
a
call to gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name() in ok_delete_handler() to prevent 
the
default handler(s) from being run (see page195 of the GTK tutorial).  It 
could
be that a default handler is destroying your widget so that when you go to 
use
it later (i.e. "show" it) you get a segfault.
